not true it says that the teacher doesnt have time for bs, either you do your work and pass the class, or fail.........if i were you i would be happy knowing there is a teacher out there willing to teach the right way, instead of bringing milk and cookies to class and holding hands.

You idiots think I'm the only one, huh? Cwol, get your head out of your ass. This teacher lost her class not only because of lack of teaching, but the failure rate of the students. When you have straight A students not.being able togeabove a D....it falls DIRECTLY on the teacher. When you have parents as well as teachers complaining about other.teachers, it falls DIRECTLY on that teacher.. this has gone from a.teacher to baseball and back again. I'm wondering.how many of you making stupid.ass.comments have kids or just talking out yur asses!!

..told the students in my son's geometry class "I don't care if you pass or fail, either way I get paid". BTW, this is my kids first year ever in PS. Nice to know some teachers in public school don't give a shit. The good news is my kid transferred out and into another class pronto along with about 15 others. That teacher now has one less class.

Hi Coach. Just a quick thought there; before judging the teacher on this one comment, you should look at the context in which it was made. My spouse is a jr. high school teacher (gr. 7-9), and based on many conversations I've had with her about problem students, I can easily rhyme off (without hisitation) 7-10 instances in which I would have made a very similar comment. Actually, I would bet the house that 100% of teachers have that same thought, at one time or another, when dealing with a troubled kid that insists on drawing the rest of the class (teacher included) into their vortex. Mind you, the vast majority of teacher don't actually speak their minds due to repercussion from the school board.

It's funny how education differes from one country to another. In Poland "private school" means low level of education, school for rich, spoiled kids with many problems usually. Best unis, high schools etc. are public.

If someone sends his kids to private school it's like "wtf, are your kids so dumb?". I think it has to do with the fact that level of education in Poland is very high.

Quite a few on that list that haven't turned to disasters. However, you're confusing real democrats with liberals. There's a huge difference. The Obama administration for example, has been a COMPLETE disaster.

You really sounding like a bleeding heart lib here, you know that eh.

It's one thing to think it, quite another to say it out load to an entire class. We have a difference of opinion. I can almost guaranty if some of you were to say that to your boss, he'dpprobably be looking for a replacement asap.

..told the students in my son's geometry class "I don't care if you pass or fail, either way I get paid". BTW, this is my kids first year ever in PS.

A stupid thing to say. In any case, you told us years ago that your son was in a private school.

Got it. Still a stupid thing to say. Regardless, the best thing you can do for your now PS son is to study with him -ie. go over homework with him, read with him and stay on top of stuff. And when I say read with him, I mean read his stuff with him, but also have him see you reading by yourself; it fosters a culture of literacy/skills/curiosity,etc. Not a better thing out there. Best of luck.

I agree, the class he had was geometry. Through his schools website, we check the portal weekly. It wasn't like he wasn't trying (can't speak for the other kids). He transferred out from that geo teacher and is in another class. He said this new teacher is quite a bit more organized with his teaching and so far he seems to understand it better. One test and two quizzes since the beginning of the new semester and he scored high on all.

We have an agreement that he has to keep his grades to a certain standard (ours, not the school) in order for him to play, he knows thats the priority, not baseball or anything else. Even the young athletes that come into our gym know that they have to carry a 3.0 min to be in the program. He's no exception. Me along with other parents found it unusual that most of the class (including honors students) were having a difficult time.
